At no time in the past has social en-
tertainments been so numerous and di-
versifed as they have been in Custer
during the present winter. The differ
ent societies have We'd with each other in
their efforts to score the highest degree
of success, but it remained for the Gus
ter City Fireman, upon the approach of
the close Of the season, to present a Soc
ial attraction at the Court house on the
occasion Of the anniversary Of the i'm
mortal Washington, which in point of
attendance, perfection Of appointments,
excellence Of management, and clear cut
success has not heretofore been approcl +.
ed. 1t was evident that every provision
had been made which could in the
slightest degree contribute to the enjoy
ment Of the occasion. Every phase of
character, from fair Columbia, to the
truculent savage Of the plains, from the
Goddess Diana to the rag pickers daugh
ter, was admirably represented. The
Custer Chronicle was ably represented
by Mr.. n. ID. Wood Of this city, whose
entire costume was made from copies Of
our latest issue printed upon white
cambria, and deity fashioned by the fair
hands of a Custer lady to represent the
Mikado, n of our most distinguished
Japanese subscribers. More than one
hundred maskers took part in the di
versions Of the occasion, one Of whom
| will soon forget the enjoyable features o,
this unique entertainment. The excel
lent supper served at the Vienna was
highly satisfactory and duly appreciated
A handsome sum was added to the
Fire CompanY's eXcheGuer.

The Kirk brothers, three in number
from Linn county lowe. passed through
this place on Thursday, with a band OF
horses and a herd Of cattle. Their point
of destination is four miles west of this
city. where they will permanently en-
gage in stock raising and agricultural
pursuits. The tide of immigration has
set in early, and before the end of the
present year, there is little doubt Of the
vast area of fine grazing and agricultural
lands lying Immediately west of this
place being largely occupied.

Gap Stone.

Probably the most valuable find yet
recorded in the stone and marble line
is the one made recently by Thos. Nc
Lean and others, the location compris-
ing 100 acres, located about six miles
northwest of town. On last Tuesday
We paid q visit to the location and found
a quarry of what is known as Black
Hills marble. opened by a clear cut
canyon. nearly the whole length of the
claim, which shows a fifty foot face of
solid marble twenty feet Of which can
be taken ont in blocks six foot square,
if So desired. without a crack or blemish,
while above this the lavers gradually
grow Of less thickness till they reach
that of only an inch. While there We
saw blocks that would square four feet
without trouble, as well as slabs ranging
from n to twelve inches in thickness
six feet square. The find is i~nexbaust-
able AMI the marble can be mined as
cheap as any Of the sand rock which we
have seen.
In the rough it is superior to the
brown stone Of the east for building
purposes on count of its hardness, and
it is also susceptible of a fine glass fin
ish.
Two solid colors are found in the face
of the mine, grey and red, while above,
the layers ranging from two feet to six
inches show a variety Of colors.
It's accessibility is another point not
to be overlooked. as the road from it to
this city is one which is entirely down
grade.-News.

LAKE COUNTY FLA.
An Interesting Letter From the

oKAnuMpKA, LAKE COUNTY FLA,
Aug. "A, 1887.
Please print the following short
letter IN your paper, for the benefit of
Its readers and my friends that have
asked me to write letter for it:
Lake County is situated in the CEN
ter of Florida and in the heat of the
great orange belt aud lake region; it
is one of the richest counties in the
State-haying more large clear lakes
than any other county; which are
surrounded by fine hammock land
and bearing orange groves, covered
with their golden fruits, Florida is
not all sunshine, as il has been rep
resented to be by some OF our fast
writers; 1t has its serious draw backs,
and what new country will you find
that has not? How world the grand
praries of Texas, with their cold

How to Brew Tea.

The great cook, Alexis Loyer, in
making tea first spreads it over large
dining gplate and put it into the oven for
few minutes. When the tea was hot
and crisp, with a delicate fragrance ex-
tracted by the evaporation he put it
into a large teapot and nearly filled
that with boiling water of the temper
ature which is sometimes called
screeching hot, The teapot was then
allowed to rost for five minutes on "the
hob with its spout looking out into
the room Gt inhales fire smoke If the
handle face the spectator), and this
was sufficient time for it to draw.
Never was better tea brewed and any
person can mako it.-DetroI Tribune.

Twelve Years Of Terrible Torture.

The gentleman who furnished us
with the following certificate was for
years under the treatment of many
physicians, and was dosed with all
sorts of medicine, but without the
least beneficial effects. Now, how he
was finally cured and relieved from
his internal suffering, is forcibly told
in his own statement given below, TO
which we invite the earnest attention
of all sufferers from the same dreadful
aflliction.
